The Martial Artist of Trend Forecasting —The
purpose of trend forecasting is to provide insights
and directions in anticipation of what the future
may bring – and to be prepared for the unexpected.

Gerald Celente, a Close Combat practitioner and black belt trainer,
well understands the importance
of proacting rather than reacting: "The first
rule of Close Combat is to attack the attacker.
Action is faster than reaction. The same holds
true for the future. You know the future is coming
… attack it before it attacks you."

Founder of The Trends Research Institute in 1980,
Gerald Celente is a pioneer trend strategist. He is author of the national bestseller Trends 2000 and Trend Tracking (Warner
Books) – "Far
better than Megatrends," andpublisher
of the internationally circulated Trends Journal newsletter.

Political Atheist
— Gerald Celente
is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political
dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom,
Celente, whose motto is "think for yourself,"
observes and analyzes the current events forming
future trends for what they are – not for
the way he wants them to be.

Like a doctor giving a diagnosis after gathering
the facts, whether or not you like the prognosis
doesn’t alter the outcome, make him an optimist
or pessimist – it’s simply what is.
And while Celente holds a US passport, he considers
himself a citizen of the world.
